"Corporations Are Exactly Like People"

It's already forgotten in today's news, but when it first came to light that Anthony Weiner might have tweeted a picture of his underpants to a college student, the appropriate response from the media and right-wing bloggers was, of course, to stalk the ever-loving hell out of said college student. Bonus points to the Murdoch-owned New York Post for actually faking an interview since you're not really journalists anyway.

Meanwhile, this is the same conservative right that thinks it's an affront to the Constitution to disclose campaign donations, especially if you're a corporation that might, say, be giving millions to Republicans. If only the poor college student received a picture of Weiner's junk as part of a $100,000 a plate fundraiser. We'd never even know which Arab nation she's secretly trading with.
